Gentleman #2
The Wrong Gentleman
I’m an all-or-nothing man—100 percent focused on whatever has my attention.
First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.
But women never keep my attention for more than a night.
Until I peel off Skylar Anderson’s clothes and her mask starts to crumble, showing me glimpses of the girl she’s hiding. She’s funny, sexy and vulnerable and throws me out of bed before I can catch my breath and suggest breakfast.
When I start my last undercover job on a yacht, turns out, she’s one of the crew. I try, but I can’t look away.
Her high ponytail shows off her kissable neck that tastes like summer.
Her short uniform reveals the killer legs that were wrapped around me last night.
And her provocative smile? I know what that mouth is capable of.
I want to explore her body, discover her secrets and sail off into the sunset with her.
I might want to go all in for Skylar, but she should stay away from me. I’ve got secrets of my own and they can only bring her trouble.

Okay, here’s the thing, holy am I stuck on Landon Wolfe😍😍 These British Hero’s, all I can say is yummmmy.
A perfect summer love that turns into an intense and simply amazing love story. The pace of this relationship was brilliant, the flow was smooth, it worked for me so well. The love, the like, the fight for the relationship was so well paced. Landon & Skylar make this read so enjoyable, they capture you from page one and hold you captive till the end.
This story can be read as a stand-alone or in order of the series. It’s a great love story that ends beautifully. Hands down recommend this read! It’s low angst and very sexy.

When Louise Bay gave us The Ruthless Gentleman, she introduced us to the Wolfe Brothers and the luxury but deceptively complicated life and times on Mega Yacht Charters for the wealthy. At the end of my review for this first entry, I wrote:
"Louise Bay has this new book with no promise of another... but I am interested in the Security Expert Brother...please..."
Well, my desire has come to pass. The Wrong Gentleman is Landon Wolfe's story. He is a man who worked Special Forces, had an extremely successful security company-sold it, and is now about to take on another secret position with the British Services.
Oh, did I mention he is British... with the accent and all...Yes, he has all the elements to make women's panties melt upon coming in contact with him. He is Alpha, polite, and oh so sexy. Yup... This is a man who is on a break and looking for a bit of fun before his next venture.
Skylar Anderson learned her lessons well at an early age. They were not the usual of love and caring. No, they were so ugly and evil, she swore off men and anyone who would ever control her. She understood what control meant and became well versed in being a consummate professional in her career as the Head Steward for Luxury Charters. She had focused, became indispensable, and this upcoming charter was the pathway to reaching her ultimate goal, a continuing long-term position.
Now just because Skylar has no trust in men, it doesn't mean she can't enjoy them. When Skylar catches Landon's eye, it becomes questionable who is actually pursuing whom...and since both make it extremely clear they are one-night-only players...This "coming together" is off the charts for both. The shock for Landon is that it is Skylar who is kicking him out.
Landon was on a break but when asked to do one more undercover assignment, he decides to help out. He is to work a yacht and see what exactly is going on...When he walks onto the deck, Skylar and Landon are surprised to see the other there. He has no idea what exactly Skylar's involvement is...and Skylar is not going to let a one-night stand...no matter how great or revealing stop her from being professional and reaching her career goal.
When I titled this review When Like Finds Like...it referred to how both of these people have deep secrets they hide, have built hard and fast rules for their lives, yet also have a sweetness and human side they kept under wraps. Both of them are connecting whether they want it or not... and Landon knows he will do whatever it takes to protect this woman who has gotten under his skin.
Both of these characters were strong. You became attached from the start and with the intrigue and sexy times, Louise Bay delivered another story for readers to enjoy.

RATING: 2.5/3 stars to The Wrong Gentleman ★ ★ ★
Landon and Skylar are two respectively driven characters who unexpectedly change their lives upon meeting each other. This is a down-to-earth story with some simple complications. Saying that, the burn in this one was very slow and the story moves with the same pace. Even if I liked the push and pull between our two MCs, it also grated on me in more than a few places. Unfortunately, I can't say I was enthralled by the male love interest in addition, I didn't feel a draw or an interest in him and he seemed the typical male personality whose relationship with women surmounts to fleeting encounters sans any connection or depth. I liked the Mediterranean setting with an independent heroine who works hard at a yachting life on the seas. The dash of suspense was a nice touch but I was disappointed that this plot thread was finalised very quickly, and off-page for that matter. The Wrong Gentleman did fall a tad flat for me. The story didn't quite come together and I felt an absence of a fuller picture but the scene itself intrigues.

Sigh. Another hot and happy ending.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A funny thing happened as I was reading this book. I kept saying to myself that the plot sounds familiar. The location and the details. Well, that is because it is another installment in a series that are related! Yummy hot brothers! The Ruthless Gentleman was the first in the series and while you do not need to read it, it was a great story too!
Now we get to Landon’s story and while it is similar to the first book, it definitely highlights the delicious Landon and his sexy heat. I fell for his protective alpha ways and laid back manner.
Skylar was not my favorite character. She was constantly referring to her list of perfect qualities yet discounting how much he meant to her. He busted his butt to take care of her and I don’t feel she gave as much as he to develop the relationship.
However, the sexy times between the two were super hot and intimate with amazing detail that Bay writes exquisitely. This heated connection simply made the book for me.
Overall, a great read with our sexy Brit taking the lead for me. MMmmmm yum!

The Wrong Gentleman is book 2 of the Gentleman series by Louise Bay. It is a standalone contemporary romance, told from both POV with a HEA.
Tropes:
⭐ British hero
⭐ forced proximity
⭐friends to lovers
⭐undercover romance
This book took me on a passionate journey filled with intense emotions and undeniable chemistry. The story revolves around Landon, a charismatic and all-or-nothing kind of man, who finds himself irresistibly drawn to Skylar Anderson, a vibrant and enigmatic woman hiding her true self behind a mask.
From the moment Landon and Skylar meet at a bar, the sparks between them are undeniable, I was immediately captivated by their sizzling connection. Louise Bay masterfully crafts their love story, allowing it to develop naturally and flawlessly. The pace of their relationship is expertly managed, and kept me engaged and eager to see how their romance will unfold.
Landon's character is portrayed as irresistibly attractive, with a British accent that adds to his charm. His confidence and determination to pursue Skylar make him an endearing and swoon-worthy hero. On the other hand, Skylar's strength and focus in pursuing her goals make her a relatable and empowering character, proving to be an excellent match for Landon.
As the story progresses, secrets and vulnerabilities are revealed, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. The sexual tension between Landon and Skylar is palpable.
Louise Bay's writing style is engaging and effortless, making it easy to get lost in the story. Her ability to create well-rounded characters and evoke emotions in her readers is commendable. "The Wrong Gentleman" is a perfect summer read, with just the right amount of drama and tension to keep the story compelling without overwhelming the romance.

I know a sure thing is guaranteed when reading anything by Louise Bay. Coherent writing with an even, flowing pace; an irresistible, brooding British hero; a determined, kind-hearted heroine; and chemistry brewing with palpable sexual tension. The Wrong Gentleman isn’t an exception—a friends to lovers undercover romance set within the gorgeous Mediterranean. It epitomises the perfect summer fling, really!
“You're smooth, British Boy, and everything I don't need.”
Sent to collect incriminating evidence against an apparent reputable businessman, Landon Wolf’s mission is both imperative and dangerous. It is also more complicated than he expected when the only woman to capture his attention—and affection—appears on the same boat, proving to be a temptation difficult to resist. And an incredible distraction he can’t afford.
Skylar Anderson refuses to rely on anyone for support—romantically and financially. Determined to maintain a modicum of stability, she’s hell-bent on staying away from Landon, because as handsome and charming as he is, his undeniable allurement isn’t worth chasing. Her resolute decision to remain independent and her motivation to be hard-working is admirable.
“Skylar might be the mission of your life. Make sure you don’t quit before the job is done.”
The Wrong Gentleman isn’t angst-ridden, but that doesn’t make this any less enjoyable. I loved the push-pull between Skylar and Landon. And the undeniable intense, heated chemistry between them is captivating. However, this was the slowest slow burn. Ever. With an underlying threat nearby, the opportunities for exciting action was missed and the ending to Landon’s mission was pushed aside very easily, very quickly.
If you love slow burn romance with a push and pull situation between the couple, an undercover hero, a feisty heroine and engaging story-line, pick up The Wrong Gentleman. Louise Bay's writing will have your interest from beginning to ending!

4.5 'The mission of my life' Stars!
ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
And yet, Louise Bay gives us another delicious British hero to love and a strong and amazing heroine too! The perfect summer fling turning into a beautiful love story, I am all over it! We had no idea, after finishing The Ruthless Gentleman, that Louise was plotting Hayden Wolf’s brother story. I am so glad Landon got his happy ending too. I loved him and Skylar together and get ready, because I am sure you’ll love them too.
The Wrong Gentleman is Louise Bay’s upcoming release, already LIVE and it can be read as a standalone novel (even though, I also recommend reading Hayden’s story because it's just as good!). This the story of Landon Wolf, a playboy and an ex Special Forces man who is about to have the best mission of his life. He meets and shares a very special night with Skylar Anderson and that will change their lives forever. He is going undercover job in a yacht where Skylar is working, and their chemistry is unstoppable. Be ready to fall in love with this handsome and protective British hero and the woman who makes him believe in love!
One night wasn’t enough, and the myriad of reasons not to pursue anything more with her all seemed to dissolve into the sea air whenever she was around.
She might be a woman I was prepared to go all in for.
Ohhh I love a hot protective alpha! And you know what makes it even better? Well the fact that he is British, of course! Landon Wolf slowly stole my heart (and Skylar’s!) with his protectiveness, his kick-ass job and the connection he shares with the heroine. Yes, he avoids commitment at all costs, he is a playboy but Skylar changes everything for him. He feels special with her and he wants her in every way. I loved them together because they share a beautiful relationship and an explosive chemistry. Boy, things got REALLY HAWT. And also emotional, which I love! I loved how Landon fights to get Skylar back and I am so glad they found each other. I do wish the epilogue was a bit longer but, besides that, I really loved this book.
Landon Wolf was the last man I’d ever expected to end up with, but he was the only man I would ever love.
Therefore, I am rating The Wrong Gentleman with 4.5 STARS because I really liked how this relationship developed. I love Louise's novels and this one was no exception! Landon Wolf was sexy, mysterious and super protective. I loved every second of reading how he and Skylar fall in love. Congrats again to Louise Bay for another amazing release. Highly recommend if you enjoy this author's works and you love British heroes and the women who make them fall in love!

Me ha gustado la temática en el yate .. me ha resultado original y distinto ... la trama tb me ha entretenido pero el final quizás demasiado rápido ... le hubiera dado algunas páginas mas para desarrollarlo de otra manera.
No obstante me ha entretenido bastante.

This book was most definitely my favourite Louise Bay book to date. It’s consumed me and I loved every single second of it.
ARC received in exchange for an honest review
Landon and Skylar were amazing. This couple captured me from the get go and I was invested from their very first meet. I couldn’t go back now, oh no.
Landon keeps himself to himself, he’s a private guy. After selling his company he’s looking for some time away to just sit and relax like he very much deserves but all that is about to change with a call from one of his good friends asking him to board a yacht.
Skylar, oh this woman. The stuff she went through at such an early age had my heart breaking for her. She’s closed off and finds it hard to trust except for the select few already in her life. After building a career on yacht charters she has no idea what’s about to crash in to her life, no idea at all.
Watching these two become friends and seeing their relationship blossom is one of the most rewarding things that this book gives you. The amount of feeling’s that come along with it is another. There’s nothing more amazing than being able to feel what the main characters are going through and that’s exactly what Louise delivered with this beauty.
Oh and a huge shout out for all the sexy times that happened in this book because HOT DAMN. I lost count how many times I felt like I needed a cold shower, Christ.
I’m so very pleased to have had the opportunity to read this book because Louise did incredible. She created two perfectly imperfect characters that have buried themselves deep into my heart. I’m in awe right now, incredible book.

0.01 stars. yup.
So, a friend told me (after reading my review of the first book, and knowing that tHIS WAS A FUCKING DISSASTER AND PROBLEMATIC PEOPLE) that this book gets better. And, your local clown is here.
Yes, folks. Because clownery is my passion, my religion and what makes me... Me.
Anyways, today, in a new episode of "Ale is a clown", we have The Wrong Gentleman, where we follow Hayden's little brother, Landon, and Avery's friend, Skylar.
This is bullshit, and I can't stop laughing, even when I'm writing this review.
In any case, Landon is the typical playboy who doesn't get involved with women for more than one night, but he's iNtRiGuEd by Skylar, how cynical she is and how much she makes him feel dIfFeReNt because they fucked once, ONCE PEOPLE. NO WAY. They are working together on a yat because Landon has to do some spying shit (I don't even know how to say it) and he doesn't tell Skylar what he does.
Skylar doesn't want any kind of passion or romance in her life because she have trust issues. Her father killed her mother when she was young (the 2 persons in who she trusted) and ran away from her home. So, Skylar is never on relationships because she's always saying that she will marry to a millionaire man. *rolls eyes* Hey, that's MY LINE.
Landon and Skylar are dating-not-dating and in denial about their own feelings about each other. For sure, since page one we can know that Landon and Skylar are endgame because they're ✨the✨special✨snowflake✨. Bullshit.
They are in a relationship, even if they deny it tHE WHOLE FUCKING TIME. WHAT????
Well, the thing gets even more funny when Hayden and Avery go to a dinner with Skylar and Landon, and there Skylar knows the whole truth. She gets mad and disappointed because she trusted him and the bastard lied to her. Skylar is about to go and then Landon decides to fuck up thinGS EVEN MORE THAN THEY ALREADY ARE. OH, GENIUS. *claps*
He says to her ugly things and uses her past traumas to insult her and basically he tells her that she is an attention seeker. Uhm, eXCUSE ME??? Are you for fucking serious? You, a 32 y/o man are going to tell a woman something like that and make her feel like an idiot? You're a fucking bastard, just like your brother.
But hey, don't worry, because things are going to get better. Why? Because ✨love✨defeats✨everything✨and✨he✨has✨excuses✨. Again, bullshit.
Landon is like many of fictional dudes: he doesn't understand that NO MEANS NO. Why do people think that this behavior is cute, sexy, sweet, romantic or nice? I mean, I know it's fiction, but this is the message that you're trying to send? Nope. Thank u, next.
But none of these things matter at the end, because the true love must be and they're gonna be together, right?
So, they are. Skylar and Landon talk and then fuck. That's it. Everything is solved.
Pathetic as fuck.
These people don't act like adults, but as 16 y/o kids. They're just horny af and the fact that their bodies look good together makes them forget the real issues. They're one for each other and no one can deny it. Let's forget about the stalker issues, the traumas and the nasty things he said.
Skylar's prejudices about no need a man, romances or that crap go away when Landon appears. Boo-hoo, you assholes.
In resume, this book sucks and I'm not planning to read any romance-erotica books in a while... At least that are for tear them apart.

“𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵, 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗕𝗼𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱.”
What a juicy contemporary romance full of passion, quick-wit, and a dash of suspense! I just love it when both the hero and the heroine are so stubborn in everything they do. It makes the payoff of an amazing happily ever after that much sweeter! Landon James had my heart right from the start, even though I wanted to slap him upside the head a few times. With our heroine, Skylar, I could just relate to her on so many levels. I respected her gumption in regards to her personal and professional life. Sparks of sexual tension and chemistry flew off of every single page when it came to these two and I ate up every single word! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧 by Louise Bay was a fun, sexy, and satisfying read. If you haven’t read her yet, definitely pick this one up, but I highly recommend anything with her name on the cover!

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.It pains me to say this book by Louise Bay was not one of my favorites. I'm not sure if it was the characters themselves or just the fact that the yachting life didn't connect with me. But I did find the story moved a bit slowly and the romance for this couple just didn't grab me.
Landon and Skylar do a pretty good job of convincing themselves that the other isn't their type. But as the story moves on, we do get a front row seat how much much they really do mean to each other...despite their protests otherwise. I think that's one of the issues I had with the characters. Skylar creates a list of her perfect guy (which she knows is BS), but all it takes is Landon asking her one question and she throws that away. For someone who's gone to such lengths to build a wall, I couldn't imagine it would come down quite so quickly.

The Wrong Gentleman by Louise Bay is the story of Skylar Anderson and Landon Wolf.
Landon is ex military who is now working on building his business and has not time for a committed relationship...nor does he want one. Skylar is working to stay focused on her career and not looking back to her terrible past life. Not trusting of most men due to her past, she doesn't focus on relationships. When she gives in to a one night stand then walks away she has no ideal that he will pop up again in her life. But Landon has taken an undercover job on the yacht that Skylar works on...now let the games begin. Really enjoyed their story...love Ms. Bay's writing.

Omgoodness, I'm so in love with this author!! I am on a listening binge on Audible with her books!
I can't get enough of her books!
This story is about Skylar Anderson a head yacht stewardess and she has been serving the rich and famous for years. Skylar has a traumatic past, she also has trust issues.
Landon Wolf! is also a worker new to the yacht work force. He is very private and keeps to himself. But, I skipped some major fun and yummy parts from the beginning of the book. I will definitely say that this beautiful, well written, steamy romance is filled with secrets and so much more!!
Such a wonderful book and a must listen with the incredibly sexy Shane East as Landon and the talented Andi Arndt as Skylar. Please listen to these books, I promise you will love them and the author!

The Wrong Gentleman is the newest book by Louise Bay, and it was right on par with her other fantastic stories.
Landon and Skylar were two peas from the same pod. Both with reasons for not being fans of relationships, or for just avoiding them. Neither was looking for much from the other so of course found so much more than they expected. Both of them were wonderfully well developed characters. I liked reading the layers of their personalities and pasts being exposed to help make sense of their reluctance to get involved. I liked the banter and the way Skylar resisted. I loved Landon’s charm.
It was all just so well written and draws you in. I loved that it alternated POV throughout so that I could see inside the minds of both of them. Plus they had fun friends to help keep things interesting.

Standard read... done justice with audiobook. Voice actors rendition was very enjoyable.

January 26, 2023I'm just not even going to rate this trite drivel. Two unlikeable characters and the MMC is a total douche.
Couldn't even get past the first few chapters.

This book did not please me as much as I hoped it would when I first read the blurb. It took me a really long time to try and finish this.
Skylar has had a traumatic childhood and because of that she is very cautious and and wants stability and she find that the only person she can rely on who can provide her that, is herself. She is independent and does not want or need a man to take care of her and she does not like telling people the real reason why so she creates this list of criteria for men to meet. Her friend is not swayed by this unfortunate list and she is hellbent on finding Skylar her perfect man.
In comes Landon. It is lust as first site for Landon. He is in this new town trying to help his friend with something and he meets Skylar. They spend a night together thinking they never going to see each other again but come the next day, they are both working on the same yacht. They try to keep things strictly platonic and professional but their hormones gets in the way. But Landon is not very forthcoming and transparent with Skylar. He is keeping things hidden from her.
Things I didn’t enjoy about this book....
This is my first Louise Bay book and although my rating is low, I will not be dissuaded in reading her other books.

3.5 stars
Let me start by saying I love the characters, the plot and the outline of the story was very much a winner in my book. But I don't know what happened. Whether it was my frame of mind or not but this book just fell a little flat for me. Now Louise Bay is one of my favourite instant one click authors and I hate that I have this opinion.
The characters are great and I loved Landon he had all his brothers charm but with a burly army way about him. His need to protected was what drew me to him. He was everything a Hero in a book should be. Skylar was a really strong female character one that I will remember for a while to come. Her life before yachting was a life that no one would chose to lead. Her upbringing heartbreaking, a tragic and doomed tale that stole and cemented her view of men. But she was strong and took nothing for granted ever. She steered clear of men, making unrealistic demand and a list that no man would be able to meet. That was until Landon.
Now from that you would guess I loved this book but there were things that changed that for me. The constant talk of money and finding a millionaire for her. The talks between Skylar and August just grated in the end and spoiled it a little for me. I was also disappointed in regards to how things just faded into the background in regards to the reason that Landon was on the Sapphire in the first place. I wanted more from that aspect of the story, seeing as it was such a huge part throughout the book.
All in all this book was an ok read. I didn't hate it, I just wasn't in love with huge parts of it. The love story side was on point and I enjoyed that loads. Maybe someone else will love it and that's the beauty of reading. We all love different things.
I do however recommend this book. As amongst it all there was a love story that saved this book for me.
